We've analysed our last 50 deals with international buyers. The data debunks several clichés about what the foreign buyer in Valencia looks for — and what they'll pay.

They're not after the beach, they're after the city

72% of our international buyers chose the historic centre or the Ensanche over the seafront. They want urban life, services on foot and a building with character. The beach is an add-on, not the reason.

They pay for finished homes

Unlike the local buyer, the international one rarely wants to renovate. They happily pay the premium for a move-in-ready home, because the real cost of managing building work from a distance is enormous.

They decide faster than you think

The average time between first viewing and offer was 9 days. They come with their homework done: pre-approved financing and clear criteria. What they need is confidence in the process, not more time.

The international buyer doesn't haggle over the price: they haggle over uncertainty.
